Instrumental Teaching at Clapgate

We are very fortunate here at Clapgate that we have an outstanding musician who comes into school 3 days a week to work with our children. During these days, Josh delivers guitar tuition to a number of children for 30 minute sessions. This is on a termly basis but the majority of children have continued their lessons for additional terms and some have now been learning the guitar for a number of years.

We are pleased to inform you that we currently have 12 children learning how to play the guitar and are hoping that some of these children will perform in an assembly over the coming months to showcase their musical ability.

Steel Pans

We are also fortunate that we another music teacher who comes into school once a week to work with our year 6 pupils. Jermaine spends an hour with each of our year 6 classes and teaches them how to play steel pans.

These are very full on sessions and can also include the use of African Drums and glockenspiels.

The children love making music as part of small groups and have performed at school carnivals and as part of assemblies and school fairs.
